Well i have been around here for about a year and a half and finally hit 1000 posts. It's time for a contest and it's my first one guys so be gentle on a old man. 
I fly fish and tie my own flys and have been doing so for more than thirty years. I usually carry a couple of fly boxes when i go out.
How many flys are in the orange box? The closes guess will win. I'll have to get my tweezers out and count them tomorrow.I will keep this open till Wed night. A nice fiver awaits.imageimage
